  Many foreign students are attracted not only to the academic programs at a particular U.S.college but also to the larger community, which affords the chance to soak up the surroundingculture. Few foreign universities put much emphasis on the cozy communal life thatcharacterizes American campuses from clubs and sports teams to student publications anddrama societies. The campus and the American university have become identical in peoplesminds, says Brown University President Vartan Gregorian. In America it is assumed that astudents daily life is as important as his learning experience.

  Foreign students also come in search of choices. Americas menu of optionsresearchuniversities, state institutions, private liberal-arts schools, community colleges, religiousinstitutions, military academiesis unrivaled. In Europe, says history professor JonathanSteinberg, who has taught at both Harvard and Cambridge, there is one system, and that isit. While students overseas usually must demonstrate expertise in a specific field, whetherlaw or philosophy or chemistry, most American universities insist that students sample naturaland social sciences, languages and literature before choosing a field of concentration.

  Such opposing philosophies grow out of different traditions and power structures. In Europeand Japan, universities are answerable only to a ministry of education, which sets academicstandards and distributes money.

  While centralization ensures that all students are equipped with roughly the same resourcesand perform at roughly the same level, it also discourages experimentation. When theymake mistakes, they make big ones, says Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association ofAmerican Universities. They set a system in wrong directions, and its like steering asupertanker.

  On Christmas Eve in 1994, humans entered a cave in the mountains of southeastern France forwhat was probably the first time in 20,000 years. The vivid images of more than 300 animalsthat Jean-Marie Chauvet and his assistants found on the cave walls were like none that they hadseen before. Unusual in the Grotte Chauvet, as the cave is now called in honor of its discoverer,are paintings of many flat sheeting animals. Other known caves from the same geographicalarea and time period contain only paintings of plantites. The paintings in this cave refute theold theory that Cro-Magnoon people painted animals that they hunted and then ate. Now manyspecialists believe that cave paintings were not part of a ritual to bring good luck to hunters.They point out that while deer made up a major part of their diet, therere no drawings of deer.They believe that the animals painted were those central to the symbolic and spiritual life ofthe times; animals that represented something deep and spiritual to the people. Scientists arehopeful that Groo Chavie will yield new information about the art and lifestyle of Cro-Magnoonpeople. They readily admit, however, that little is understood yet as to the reasons why ice ageartists created their interesting and detailed paintings. Scientists also wonder why somepaintings were done in areas that are so difficult to get to, in caves, for example, that are 2,400feet underground, and accessible only by crawling through narrow passageways.

  23. How did the cave get its name?

  24. What is the old theory about the paintings in the cave?

  25. What do scientists readily admit according to the speaker?

  If you are attending a local college, especially onewithout residence halls, youll probably live at home and commute to classes. Thisarrangement has a lot of advantages. Its cheaper. It provides a comfortable and familiarsetting, and it means youll get the kind of home cooking youre used to instead of themonotony (单调) that characterizes even the best institutional food.

  However, commuting students need to go out of their way to become involved in the life of theircollege and to take special steps to meet their fellow students. Often, this means a certainamount of initiative on your part in seeking out and talking to people in your classes whom youthink you might like.

  One problem that commuting students sometimes face is their parents unwillingness torecognize that theyre adults. The transition from high school to college is a big one, and ifyou live at home you need to develop the same kind of independence youd have if you wereliving away. Home rules that might have been appropriate when you were in high school dontapply. If your parents are reluctant to renegotiate, you can speed the process along by lettingyour behavior show that you have the responsibility that goes with maturity. Parents are morewilling to acknowledge their children as adults when they behave like adults. If, however,theres so much friction at home that it interferes with your academic work, you might wantto consider sharing an apartment with one or more friends. Sometimes this is a happy solutionwhen family tensions make everyone miserable
